Question

The temperature at a ski resort was 12°F at 5:00 A.M.

If the temperature increased by 1.5°F each hour, what would be the temperature at 12 noon?
7.5°F
13.5°F
17.5°F
22.5°F

Answer 1

Your answer would 22.5

Explanation:

If it is 12 degrees at 5:00 a.m. and it goes up every 1.5 degrees. 5 to 12 is 7 hours so add 1.5, 7 times plus 12.

12 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5+ 1.5 + 1.5
